My excitement for this just dipped drastically lol. Why can we never have another American werewolf in london style werewolf?

Tell me this doesn’t look like your local chud grandpa somehow came down with a case of mange.

Thoughts bears?

    They were worried people would want to fuck the werewolf, so they made an unfuckable werewolf

    Jokes on them though, someone will want to fuck this werewolf

    I liked Upgrade (melon-musk) and Invisible Man by Whannell so I’ll hold off on judgement

    Despite this goofy mf

    Edit:

    Leigh Whannell: Well, there was a bit of a debacle this year. They did a thing where they were like, okay, we’re going to have a Wolf Man appear, and I was like, what are you going to do? They’re like, oh, he’s just going to jump out and scare people, nd I was like, does Arjen know about this, the makeup artist? Then it all just went down and I was like, we have to stop this. I called Jason Blum. I was like, we have to pull the pin on this thing because people out there are going to think that’s what we’re doing. It would be like judging the Freddy Krueger makeup by a costume at Spirit Halloween. You know what I mean? There’s a lot more to it. I’m like, no, no, no.

    At that stage, once something gets on the internet, the horse is bolted. So I was like, let’s not do this because the Wolf Man is so – when people go and see a movie called Wolf Man, they’re waiting to see the creature. Let’s not [mess] this up. So if they came back to me next year and said, do you want to do it again? I’d be like, show me the wolf. Show me the wolf. Let’s talk about this extensively.

    The funny thing is, if you’re in a theme park in broad daylight - the thing is the makeup itself is one component. It’s lighting. It’s how you shoot it. It’s where you position the actor. There’s so many different things that go into it. If Jeff Goldblum was to wander in here wearing the makeup from the fly under these flourescent lights, it probably wouldn’t look that great. It’s how it was photographed.

    So what I get concerned about when people want to do costumes and stuff like that in theme parks is like, but what are the conditions? Because if we don’t control the lighting and everything, it’s just not going to be – at a certain point, though, I mean, it’s not yours anymore. If I’m walking through Halloween Horror Nights and I see a little jigsaw puppet, I’m like, ah, great, you know, what am I going to do? Because that puppet doesn’t belong to me anymore. It belongs to the general public.

    Tl;dr the goofy wolfman probably looks less silly in the movie

      Yeah I’m still going to give it a chance. wannell claims his movie is like the fly wherein the main werewold character (blake) descends further and further into lycanthropy and morphs further throughout the film kind of like Jeff goldblooms characrter in the fly. If he does that. and the end result is something that looks more werewolf at at its final stages, that would be a sick concept.

      I just don’t want the final werewolf form to be a more polished version of what we see above, that costume is just terrible.
